Two Game crashes ...

theReaper0908 · 10-10-2007, 01:51 PM

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 3200+ MMX, 3D now `2.0GHZ
Memory: 2048MB RAM
VD - NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT

Recently ive installed two new games onto my F: Hardrive, as i have that harddrive specifically for video games. The 2 new games are Bioshock and World in Conflict, i noticed when i first started them i had no issues what so ever, recently after runnning them both again, i heard the noise you would here when you unplug your television comming from my PC tower. SO i assumed that the power was cut off from my harddrive, i checked all my wires but everything was intact. I then ran 2 other games to test this, Those games are GRAW 2 and FEAR MP. both games ran smoothly, so i dont know what the issue is, i dont want to assume harddrive failure. but i also dont know what else to think in the matter. Any support would be appreciated. thank you.

do you know what kind of power supply you have?the voltage readings are low.

theReaper0908 · 10-10-2007, 04:23 PM

AXIO TECHNOLOGIES 480Watt came with the tower when i bought it.

**pharoah** · 10-10-2007, 04:29 PM

with those voltage readings,and having a no-name brand power supply.id say the power supply is the problem.have a look at the power supply selection link in my sig.

**pharoah** · 10-10-2007, 05:05 PM
